To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS L. BACON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Denver, in thecounty of Denver and State of- Colorado, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Stands, of

which the -yfollowing is'a specification.

This invention relates to an adjustable stand for supporting lamps,glasses and! other small articles, and adapted to be clampedto the headpost of a bed-stead, or the arm of a chair.

The invention consists in the novel features of construction,hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims and shown in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of myinvention applied to a bed post. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device,the post being in section.

a concaved plate 6, and the face ofthis plate may be padded or coveredwith cloth if desired in order to prevent injury to the polish of thepost or chair arm.. Fromthe sleeve 4' also extends a flange 7 at rightangles to the flange 5 and this flange has its inner face serrated byforming transverse grooves across the said face. The flange 7 islongitudinally slotted at 8, hereafter to be referred to. I

The clamp 3 is a right angled plate one member of which has its outerface serrated to engage the serrated face of thejflange 7 and thisportion of the clamp section 3 is provided also with a threadedperforation which receives a set screw 9 which works through the slot 8of the flange 7. The

members 2 and 3 together, the serrated faces preventing any movementbetween the two sections of the clamp relative to each other.

A bracket 11 substantially V-shaped is provided with an arm 12 whichextends from its apex portion and is then bent at right angles to form apivot pin 13 which pin fits within the sleeve 4 and rotates therein. Thestand 14 preferably formed of asmooth square board or a thin metal platewithvslightly rounded corners is secured upon the bracket 11 by rivetingor by means of screws, and completes the device. When used upon a chairarm the plate 6 bears upon one side of thearm and the recessed member 3of the clamp upon the other side, the flange 7 resting across the outerend of the arm. I also provide the sleeve 4 with two transverse bores 15and 16, placed ninety degrees apart,.and into which the pin 13 can beplaced, so that the stand can be attached when the clamp is fastened inposition other than thatshown in the drawings, and which enables theclamp to be applied to tables, aside rail of a bed, or to other articlesof furniture.

hat I claim. is

. 1. A-device of the kind described comprising a sectional clamp formedof two mom bers, one of said members comprising a sleeve, flangesextending from said-sleeve and. at right angles to each other, a thumbscrewworking through one of said flanges, a set screw working throughthe other flange, said last mentioned flange being slotted and the othermember of theclamp comprising an angled plate one member of whichisprovided with a threaded perforation to receive the set screw.

2. A device of the kind describedcomprising a clamp formed intwosections, oneof said sections comprising a right angled plate, onemember of which is recessed upon its inner face, and the other member ofwhich is serrated upon its outer face, the other section of the clamcomprising a sleeve, flanges carried by sai sleeve and at ri ht anglesto each other, one of said flanges being slotted longitudinally andserrated to e rated face of the first mentione section, a set screwworking through the slot and threading into the serrated member of thefirst mentioned section, a thumb screw working through the other flange,a concaved plate carried by said thumb screw, said plate being oppositethe recess of the first section, a

bracket stand, and an angled arm carried by agevthe ser- I said standfor engaging with the sleeve, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A device of the kind described comprising a sleeve havingintersecting bores at right angles to each other, flanges extending fromone side of said sleeve and at, right angles to each other, one of saidflanges being provided with a perforated threaded boss, and

the other with a longitudinal slot, and a right angled plate adapted togrip a post and restin in the angle formed by said flanges, a t umbscrew working through the boss, a ooncaved plate carried by the innerend of said thumb screw and cooperating with the opposing face of theright angled plate, a set screw Working through the slot of one of theflanges and engaging the right angled plate, and suitable standsupporting means in rotatable engagement with said sleeve.
